SR:-The musical recital OF this week
a. Mt. De Chsntnl, when the programme
was onco more filed by novices in tho art,
was ono OF much interest. 1t cannot be
denied that few slips both Of voice and
Gngors somewhat marred tho success 0!
the evening, but what else could be ex'
pected when such youthful debutanteG
were confronted with q critical audience
in which tho ri. Roy. J.J Kahn occupied
the pos. oil honor7 The mistakes, how.
ovor, wero more than counter.balanced by
tho merits OF the performance and the
following programme was heard with
great pleasure: y

The instrumental music YVES simple but
evinced careful and successful study.
Misses Deegan and Stockett, both OF West
Virginia, played very nicely, with pre-.
ciaion and spirit. Miss Scott, OF Mexico,
displayed admirable perseverance, in con.
quering her difficulties in q piece; which
she began with taste and confidence.
The Sonata by Diabslli, played by
Misses Richardson, OF Brooklyn, and Hale,
OF Elizabeth, West Virginia, showed
marked improvement in both young ladies'.
The Second movement wac especially
pleasing and displayed to advantage ,the
tirmness and decision Of Miss Hale'a style
as we'll as the sweetness OF touch acquired
by Miss Richardson. i'.t 57i
Miss Quinn has been 90 frequently the
subject Of commentator that at preeent
1t will suffice to remark that she played
with hor usual ease and finish, The
readings were short and we'll done and at.
/ orded several hearty laughs.
Miss Nellie Forse, Of Pittsburgh, brought
out tho Joints OF her anecdote very dis.
tinctly, while Miss Nellie Sunstein, OF the
came city, read her German aelection quite
smoothly. Her translation thereof wss
very amusing and well delivered.
Mias Margaret, Kenra, Of Charleston,
West Virginia, gave her beautiful poem in
C very impressive manner, and ejlesgon
conveyed touched all hearts.
Miss Potvin has appeared in her present
role several times before. Her compost
tons are pleasing and her reading dis.
tinct and intelligent, and both did her
credit on this occasion.
The most striking literary effort OF the
evening Was tho poem read by Miss Sadie
Robinson, Of Montgomery, Ala. Miss
Robinson's voice is good, her articulation
clear and her gesturea easy and appro.
pirate. The young lady should continue
her study as she promises we'll for the fu-
ture. The department of vocal music
was fairly represented. MiEa Mena Nc
Graw, OF Grafton, appeared for the first
time and sang with considerable spirit,
Miss Mary Healy, Of Wheeling, has i'm
proved greatly Bince her last appearance
So & soloist. Her song evinced decided
culture and her voice has gained much
sweetness and clearness OF tone. The
vocal quartette met with mishap in the
beginning, oTingto theindispcsition ofone
OF the party, and tho young ladies made
several attempts before getting fairly
started. However, the selection Jared
better towards the end, and at least
proved the ability OF the performers to do
well under more favorable circumstances,
Miss Nellie Cannon, OF Atlanta, Ga,
quite pleased her audience and retired
amidst hearty applause. Her voice is ycry
delicate, but clear, sweet and OF good com.
pass. 1t is to be regretted that Miss Mai
v, Hua Siofe, AGs ucsleCtGu 30
long to cultivate her voice, and must still
rank with the beginners in vocal music.
her voice is q contralto and with careful
study she would make fine vocalist. She
sang her ballad correctly and with good
Miss Marie Gutman's powerful mellow
tones suited well the touching ballad from
the Bohemian Girl" and she sang yery
well. REINFORCEMENT during the past
low months has been remarkable and,
was she to continue her voice culture, she
would make singer Of no ordinary
merit. n 3 ,3' r2s,ii : : -
